The garage of a villa from the 1920s becomes a hygge oasis.

Task: A loyal customer approached us with a unique challenge: to transform a former garage into a characterful retreat that would reflect her personality in her new home.

Challenge: The space needed to serve multiple purposes—work, relaxation, and entertaining friends—while incorporating a minimal kitchen near the entrance without compromising on space or flexibility.

Result: We enhanced the kitchen with an elegant, functional island, seamlessly integrated existing and new furniture, complemented it with stylish rugs, and created a welcoming atmosphere with carefully placed lighting and selected artwork. The house now features an inviting kitchen, a breakfast and reading area, a large dining room, an intimate living area, and a sleeping area with an adjoining walk-in closet.

“If you want to furnish your home in a Scandinavian/Nordic style and create a «hygge» living environment, Holm is the place to go. My interior design ideas and requirements were perfectly understood and implemented during our consultation. With these Danish classics, I have not «just» brought home pieces of furniture, but also a touch of Scandinavia and that holiday feeling.”
